Celta Vigo prepared for Thursday's Europa League visit to Celtic Park with a 2-1 home win against Alaves in La Liga.

Ferran Jutgla struck to give the hosts the lead in the 53rd minute and Javi Rodriguez's shot made it two with 19 minutes to go. Hugo Novoa pulled one back for Alaves late on.

The victory is only Celta Vigo's second in all competitions so far this season and moves them up to eighth in La Liga, below Alaves on goals scored.

Like Celtic, Celta Vigo have lost their opening two league phase fixtures in the Europa League. Cypriot side Omonia won 1-0 against the Spanish side on matchday one before Juventus were 2-1 victors in Vigo on Thursday.

Celtic meet Celta Vigo in Glasgow on Thursday at 20:00 BST.
